Major Dissertation - 'Carmilla' Annotation

[changeling67]

St Ives at night

I have been away from uni for a week now.  I started to have serious doubts - not just breaking through walls, or overcoming obstacles but REALLY struggling emotionally to deal with this.  I spent time with my former lecturer yesterday evening, watching 1st and 2nd years perform at the St Ives Arts Centre (interesting place - appparently, it is where Virginia Woolf used to play with her sister). Seeing her made me feel better, like I am not a faceless commodity anymore. I am making steps to complete some work now, going back to annotating Carmilla.

I wish I had known that I could've spread the BA top up over 2 years - modules year one and major dissertation year two.  I am a third of the way through the third year now.  Still, back to what i know best - lose myself in a book.

22:43

Have finished annotating Carmilla. Lots of rich symbolism there and many examples of Freud's 'Uncanny.'  Hubby moved my room around a couple of weeks ago and now it is functioning once more.  So nice to read in a comfy chair with Classic FM on and a gale blowing outside - the Met Office have named it storm Desmond (since when have we been naming storms??? The last one a week ago was called Barney and I thought they were joking).

Since the Met Office have been given the sack by the BBC apparently, the new Met Peepul have decided we shall follow the Americans and call all our storms by names. This year it is male names, then next year it will be Abigail and Barbara and so on. But seriously, the number of cold front gales that hurl themselves against UK shores will mean that there'll have to be TWO Arnolds and Duplicated Desmonds or something.

So glad you had a nice little 'settling' with your friend, it does help to ... let it be felt elsewhere a bit. SO... Get on with it gel, you'll be FINE. (It is damned annoying to find out things that would have helped LONG after it is too late to have found them out!!)

Classic FM is ok if your book lets you just hear the music and not those damned silly adverts... and if Joanna Lumley tells me to insure my engagement ring once more I'll throw it at her!!! teehee)

BUT... enjoy anyway love, and glad the 'screwed up' tension is lessening.

Did you ever get the Kindle book??? Bloody Amazon have charged me, so if not I shall have to sort them to get it to you!!

Classic FM is at a discreet bubbling level at the moment

No sign of kindle book alas.
